A Chesley woman is a quarter-million dollars richer after a big lottery win.
The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation says Theressa Stade took home the top prize of $250,000 in the holiday-themed Merry Millions draw, which was held on Jan. 9.
“I was getting ready to leave for vacation and decided to check my tickets on the OLG app. I thought it said I won $2,500 at first so I tucked it away. I checked my other tickets and came back to this one and that’s when I saw the $250,000 prize amount,” Stade says. “I gave the ticket to my husband and had him check it too. He couldn’t believe it!”
According to the OLG, she plans to pay down her mortgage and share some of the winnings with her children.
The winning ticket was purchased at Esso on 10th Street in Owen Sound.
